Through an error, the labeling failed to include the symbol or other text indicating that the diamond coated tips were single use only. A contributing factor to this error is that in other markets such as Japan, the diamond coated tips are multiple use and are not limited to single use only. The tips are stainless steel with a coating of fine diamond powder. The tips are sold non-sterile and are to be sterilized prior to first use. The tips were cleared as single use only. This problem was discovered during an ongoing, proactive, quality system improvement plan that was initiated by Nakanishi in October 2014. Because the correct instructions for sterilization are not available, it is possible that the devices might not be sterile prior to use. The absence of the single use statement introduces a risk of cross-contamination if the tips are reprocessed and reused.

Potentially unrecognized incorrect position of the treatment couch in 3D workflow, i.e. the HexaPOD has not moved fully to the 3D position.

A diode was inadvertently not assembled into the system, which may result in coil overheating

Increase in the failure rate of certain low-voltage DC power supplies (DCPS)

In a specific workflow where contours are edited (enlarged, moved, copied, etc.) and then the contour is deleted on some slices and saved in the same session, it is possible that the deleted contours are still present which would not be the intent of the planner.

A report can be confirmed with the incorrect patient demographics resulting in it being saved under the incorrect patient record in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR).

WaisMed received a report in which during the operation of the NIO-A, the needle was not released from the device as expected. The device was placed on the floor and after several minutes the needle was released spontaneously. NIO-A and the NIO-P models have the same activation mechanism. However, none of the affected lots of the NIO-A are distributed in the US, and thus the company is only recalling a single lot of NIO-P in the US.
